Tips For Preparing Your Garden For A Party

With the weather hopefully beginning to warm up, I’m sure the opportunity to use your outdoor spaces for entertaining will increase too.

Start with a spreadsheet. I am definitely not a huge lover of a spreadsheet but when it comes to preparing the garden for a big event they can be useful.

A spreadsheet or even just a list is a very helpful tool to keep you on track with timing.

We would normally brainstorm a long list of everything you want achieved in the garden for the event and how you want each area to look.

We would then try to put those tasks into some type of order depending on how much preparation is required.

You will have to consider if you need to buy materials and plants or organise others to do the work.

When it comes to plants, the timing could be reliant on plant availability, the season and how long it will take for the plants to get established in the garden.
